I need to check out Steve Earle's new album 'Townes' .. the entire album dedicated to and singing all songs written by his mentor and a hell of a songwriter, the late Townes Van Zandt.

America, Ventura Highway

Good stuff Ed, wife and I saw them several months ago with Christopher Cross ... I was pleasantly surprised with the show.

We're doing the Los Lonely Boys live from Austin DVD right now.

Roxy Music Avalon/More Than This

Good song word.

Listening to Def Leppard, Let it Go now.

Anyone familiar with Blackmore's Night? what's a good cd to start for a newb?

Last night listened to Elton John “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)” SACD brought over by Sean. I’m pretty neutral about Elton John don’t really like or dislike but I I’m ordering this sucker from Amazon today. It’s got to be one of the best multi-channel SACDs I’ve ever heard.

Also listened to The Flaming Lips “Yoshima Battles the Pink Robots.” Overall I prefer this type of music to Elton John and it was a very cool multi-channel presentation. Makes better use of the surround speakers than most other recordings I’ve heard.

I don’t really do much listening out of the sweet spot but last night I gained a better appreciation for the rear speakers running Dolby PLIIx on The Flaming Lips as it really rounded out the back half of the soundstage for the side seats. Something I hadn’t ever noticed before.

Erland Krauser/Talkin' Guitar/Affair Parisienne

I Know my musical tastes don't run with the masses, but 2 songs I've listened to that I just keep going back to since I got my Axioms: (I've always had these tracks, but)

Juan Martin/Through the Moving Window/The Cats
Sam Cardon/Impulse/Emerald Mist

These 2 sound soooo good .. I'm having trouble moving on to new music

Started off with The Wall, followed by some Deer Tick, Robert Plant and Allison Krause and right now some HankIII. All over the place.

Genesis Selling England By The Pound
